Stephen Davey

Stephen Davey is the son of missionary parents and was raised to love Christ,
His Church, and His Word. In his last year of high school, Stephen committed his
life to serving Christ and prepared for a life of servant-leadership at Liberty
University, Tennessee Temple University, Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary,
and Dallas Theological Seminary.

Following graduation from Dallas Seminary in 1986, Stephen and Marsha trusted
Christ for His provision and moved with their infant twin sons to Cary, NC, to
plant Colonial Baptist Church. From the beginning, Stephen preached
verse-by-verse, while Marsha created the nursery and children’s programs. In
those early days, word of this new church’s commitment to Bible exposition
spread rapidly around town, and the fellowship was soon overflowing with
attendees.

After worshipping in a school for six years, Colonial moved into its first
building, located on seven acres. Within a year, the church not only outgrew its
first building but the entire master plan. Nine years later
Colonial moved to its present location on forty acres, where several buildings
have been designed to maximize outreach, discipleship, community, and worship.
The church family currently engages in more than 100 ministries carried out by
several thousand volunteers and led by an excellent, Christ-honoring
administrative support team and pastoral staff. Their united global vision remains front and center as the Word of God
continues to be expounded—and applied.

Stephen also serves as the president of Shepherds Theological Seminary, a young
and exciting seminary which has already earned accreditation with TRACS and
associate membership status with ATS. With an outstanding faculty and growing
student body, Shepherds currently meets on the beautiful campus of Colonial.
Stephen enjoys interacting with the students, as well as teaching Pastoral
Theology and Creative Bible Teaching.

More than 40 books, study guides, commentaries, and booklets have been published
by Ambassador, Kress Biblical Resources, Charity House, and Wisdom for the Heart. Currently,
Wisdom’s new website now allows listeners to download all of Stephen’s messages
and sermon transcripts at no charge.
